Hi Todd! Welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you are a pro at vacationing at the Walt Disney World Resort! As a frequent visitor myself, it is SO fun to travel with other Guests that are brand-new to the Most Magical Place on Earth. Not only do they benefit from your expertise, but you get to see everything in a whole new light as they experience everything for the first time. You will have a blast!
You'll be happy to know that, yes,
Disney's complimentary bus transportation still transports from
Disney Resorts Collection hotels to Disney Springs and back. This service is available during Disney Springs' operating hours and continues for one hour after
Disney Springs closes. When I was there recently, the buses between the theme parks and Disney Springs were not operating. But you should be good to travel from
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to Disney Springs!
I hope you have the best time shopping and dining during your visit to Disney Springs, Todd! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Tabitha
